A Prayer of King Henry VI

Jennifer Bastable sets a Latin prayer of King Henry VI for SATB choir. The text, a heartfelt plea for divine guidance, expresses the monarch's humble submission to God's will. The composer's setting, in the sacred anthem tradition, aims to convey the profound sincerity of the original words. The music explores the devotional nature of the petition, offering a moment of reflection for both choir and listeners. This work is suitable for services or concerts where a reflective sacred piece is desired.
